Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 15–20 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- Caramel sauce for drizzling
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the creamy peanut butter and chopped Reese’s cups.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until set with a slight jiggle. Let it cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then mix the chocolate chips into one bowl of hot cream until melted.
- Slice the cheesecake into pieces and drizzle with caramel sauce and melted chocolate. Top with whipped cream and serve chilled.
Notes
For best results, let the cheesecake sit in the fridge overnight before serving. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
